British Columbia finally drops COVID vaccine mandate for healthcare workers
From LifeSiteNews
British Columbia has finally lifted its COVID vaccine mandate for healthcare workers, just now conceding that the province is no longer under a ‘public health emergency.’
The province of British Columba has finally dropped its COVID vaccine mandate for healthcare workers, allowing some 2,000 unvaccinated persons to return to work.
In a July 26 press release, B.C. Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry announced that the province is no longer in a public health emergency and is revoking all COVID regulations, including the vaccine mandate which has been enforced since 2021.
“While COVID-19 is not gone, we now have high levels of protection in the health-care system and in communities throughout B.C.,” she said.
“We are now at the point where I am confident, we can continue to manage COVID-19 without the need for the public-health emergency,” Henry added.
“All remaining Provincial Health Officer Orders are rescinded,” Henry promised, meaning that unvaccinated healthcare workers who have been blocked from working since 2021 can finally return. British Columbia is the last province to drop their vaccine mandate.
However, along with Henry’s announcement, the provincial government announced that it is creating “a vaccine registry,” forcing all health care workers to disclose their vaccination status to their employer.
“Moving forward, all health-care workers in public health-care facilities must report their immunization for COVID-19 and influenza and their immune status for other critical vaccine preventable diseases,” reads a July 26 press release.
“By shifting to a new requirement for health-care workers to report their immune status for key vaccine preventable diseases including COVID-19, we are continuing to take actions that keep people safe, support a healthy workforce, and a strong health-care system,” Health Minister Adrian Dix claimed.
Henry’s decision to drop the COVID vaccine mandate comes just eight days after Conservative MLA John Rustad promised to rescind B.C.’s vaccine mandate public health order if elected as premier.
“Bonnie Henry has lifted mandates for healthcare workers because Eby’s radical NDP is worried about the coming election,” Rustad posted on X.

“Meanwhile, patients here in Prince Rupert have died in hallways waiting for a doctor,” he continued. “It shouldn’t take an election to hire back healthcare workers.”
Indeed, Henry has been determined to keep British Columbia’s vaccine mandate regardless of the hundreds of health care workers who have been unable to work since 2021.
In May, Henry’s mandate was challenged in court. The judge ruled that healthcare workers can still be mandated to receive the experimental COVID injections as a condition of employment, but decided that those working remotely are no longer bound by the unscientific rule.
Hundreds of British Columbia healthcare workers are still suing Henry over the mandate which prevented them from working.

Pfizer and Moderna’s mRNA COVID shots must now include warnings that they cause ‘extremely high risk’ of heart inflammation and irreversible damage in males up to age 24.
The Trump administration’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced it will now require updated safety warnings on mRNA COVID-19 shots to include the “extremely high risk” of myocarditis/pericarditis and the likelihood of long-term, irreversible heart damage for teen boys and young men up to age 24.
The required safety updates apply to Comirnaty, the mRNA COVID shot manufactured by Pfizer Inc., and Spikevax, the mRNA COVID shot manufactured ModernaTX, Inc.
According to a press release, the FDA now requires each of those manufacturers to update the warning about the risks of myocarditis and pericarditis to include information about:
- the estimated unadjusted incidence of myocarditis and/or pericarditis following administration of the 2023-2024 Formula of mRNA COVID-19 shots and
- the results of a study that collected information on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cardiac MRI) in people who developed myocarditis after receiving an mRNA COVID-19 injection.
The FDA has also required the manufacturers to describe the new safety information in the adverse reactions section of the prescribing information and in the information for recipients and caregivers.
Additionally, the fact sheets for healthcare providers and for recipients and caregivers for Moderna COVID-19 shot and Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 shot, which are authorized for emergency use in individuals 6 months through 11 years of age, have also been updated to include the new safety information in alignment with the Comirnaty and Spikevax prescribing information and information for recipients and caregivers.
In a video published on social media, Dr. Vinay Prasad, director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation & Research Chief Medical and Scientific Officer, explained the alarming reasons for the warning updates.
While heart problems arose in approximately 8 out of 1 million persons ages 6 months to 64 years following reception of the cited shots, that number more than triples to 27 per million for males ages 12 to 24.
Prasad noted that multiple studies have arrived at similar findings.

Court compels RCMP and TD Bank to hand over records related to freezing of peaceful protestor’s bank accounts
The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms announces that a judge of the Ontario Court of Justice has ordered the RCMP and TD Bank to produce records relating to the freezing of Mr. Evan Blackman’s bank accounts during the 2022 Freedom Convoy protest.
Mr. Blackman was arrested in downtown Ottawa on February 18, 2022, during the federal government’s unprecedented use of the Emergencies Act. He was charged with mischief and obstruction, but he was acquitted of these charges at trial in October 2023.
However, the Crown appealed Mr. Blackman’s acquittal in 2024, and a new trial is scheduled to begin on August 14, 2025.
Mr. Blackman is seeking the records concerning the freezing of his bank accounts to support an application under the Charter at his upcoming retrial.
His lawyers plan to argue that the freezing of his bank accounts was a serious violation of his rights, and are asking the court to stay the case accordingly.
“The freezing of Mr. Blackman’s bank accounts was an extreme overreach on the part of the police and the federal government,” says constitutional lawyer Chris Fleury.
“These records will hopefully reveal exactly how and why Mr. Blackman’s accounts were frozen,” he says.
Mr. Blackman agreed, saying, “I’m delighted that we will finally get records that may reveal why my bank accounts were frozen.”
This ruling marks a significant step in what is believed to be the first criminal case in Canada involving a proposed Charter application based on the freezing of personal bank accounts under the Emergencies Act.
